a Ne
Internal Revenue Collector McGraw, of West
Virginia, is in the city. In conversation with a
STAR reporter Mr. McGraw said that Mr.. Camden
deserved reelection to the United States Senate at
the hands of the West Virginia Democracy, but
there was doubt as TO hts getting the recognition
he deserves. Mr.. McGraw said 1t was due to Sena-
tor Camden that the long and the short haul
clause was adopted and Incorporated In the inter-
state commerce bill, and that that provision
would be OF tncalculable benefit to the people OF
West Virginia. Mr.. McGraw expressed the opin-
lon that the Republicans Of the State prefer MI
Camden to any other Democrat in the Senate and
he added: 81 know OF Republicans who prefer him
TO any man, even OF their own party, because
they know he can be OF more value to the State 5"
Senator Kenna and Representative Wilson, of
west Virginia, are also in the city.
The chief topic OF conversation among the West
Virg1nianS here is the senatorial contest at the
approaching special session of the legislature
Gov. Wilson and the Democrats who bOlted the
caucus and acted with him at the regular session
maintain that the special session will have no
authority to elect Senator, and the appointment
of Senator Lucas by the governor will hold good.
The regular Democrats Insist that it is the duty of
the coming session to elect a Senator, no matter
whether the governor shall call their attention to
the subject or not. 1t is feared by the Democrats
OF the State that there will be a determined and
ugly Tight between the factions on this question.

known to require comment. He is the
fifth proprietor the World has had
since its inception in 1860, but during
this period the paper has had but two
publication offices. The first was so
small that Pulitzer removed to his
present establishment as soon as posi-
BILE, and by doing so escaped that de
structive fire which soon afterward
laid the entire building in ruins. The
World now has better cOnveniences for
delivery than any other paper, since
it's rear opens on Theatre alley, which
is broad enough for wagons. 1t has
other advantages which l need not
specify. Now, reader, when you add
to these morning papers the spicy,
sharp shooting Star and the lively
Morning Journal, all of which are
grouped in close vicinity, you can form
some idea of the intensity of the rival
~ which marks the profession. Here
are 300 reporters, l 800 cOmpOsitors,
100 editors and ten times as many sub
ordinate labOrers, and operating $lO,-
100000 capital, all to give the public
news, criticisms, reviews, and per-
feet picture of life in it's daily occur
rences, all for little more than the
mere cost of white paper. Journalism
is one of the wonders of the age, and
most of it's progress has taken place
since the early day of
THE HERMIT OF NEW YORK.
